He does actually answer prayers

So I went to Kennesaw Mountain today to do a little scouting and check out the old stompin grounds from the war days and i went back to this one little ledge hidden away on the right trail and just sat there for about thirty minutes and communed with God.  Had a little chat, a little one way deal, me talkin to him, for a little bit and then i just listened to God.

I have been recently distracted by something that is just so tiring.  Patience sucks but it is well worth it, just hard to stay strong with little affirmation.  And so i was just praying to God and listening to him.  But one main thing i prayed for was in relation to the complacency of my life.  I prayed that he would once again open my eyes and ears to the joys and struggles around me.

So anyway, i left that glorious view and walked back to my car... in the rainbows my brother bought me, BOO YAH! and i saw these two guys next to the lookout place i was going to and they mentioned Atlanta  and were pointing towards the wrong city... So i helped guide them, kinda like Alaska and talked to them briefly but one gentleman said he has been here five years and each time he tried to come to the top of the mountain the road to it was closed for hikers, until today.  So i told them of the great look out i had just come from, and they joked and said "Are you like a guide or something, i mean we could pay you, we have a few dollars."  We laughed, but i had to go so i said my goodbye and left.  I give myself a seven on the dismount, i feel i could have handled it better.

But all this to say that he answers prayers.  I had just prayed that my eyes and ears would be open up to the joys (Getting to the top of the mountain and going on a little hike) and struggles (being here five years and never making it to the top) of those around me.  I love God.
